EXCLUSIVE TO GAMES-K THE GALLUP FULL PRICE SOFTWARE CHARTS 


Historically, this time of year is pretty 
quiet when it comes to new releases and 
most software houses. give their 
warehouses a spring clean and put 
together compilations and budget titles. 

This means that 8-bit, ST and 
Amiga owners can pick up some pretty 
tidy bargains if they shop around, but 
what about PC owners? 

As the PC becomes more popular 
aS a game computer, Electronic Zoo 
isrising to the occasion with its so-called 
Star Collection. For an astonishing 
£25.99 this compilation offers 10 titles, 
which works out at £2.50 a game. Out of 
the 10, the compilation features the 
Zoo’s own Treasure Trap, Paris Dakar 
Rally and 20,000 Leagues Under the 
Sea. 

Star Collection is a mixed bag of 
arcade and adventure and the release 
date is set for August.

Graham Gooch was quoted as 
playing with one as the rain poured down 
at Lords during the second test — let's 
hope he got further in his games than he 
did at the crease. Across London at

it is suggested, could focus his

with the little beastie.

TERMINATOR 2 


Ocean has called upon the talents of 
convert Arnie’s latest 
onto the 
computer screen. This time 
however, the muscle-bound 
menace is on our side. You 
it turns out that Jon 
Connor, having already been on the 
receiving end of the Terminators fury, has 
managed to travel back in time and program one 
of the units to protect him. 

Obviously, the organization behind the Terminator 5 
isn’t too happy about the course of events and decide 
to send its very latest unit after the Connor family. 
The result is an explosive, action-packed story in 
which Arnie, now a reformed character, attempts to 
save the Connors from certain death. 
from Ocean, 
Terminator 2 will be available for all major 


blockbuster 


Electronic Arts has signed a nine 
product deal with US based company, 
Three Sixty. The first of the nine will be 
Sands of Fire, which is a World War II 
tank simulation set in the feuding 
grounds of of Montgomery and Rommel. 

This tank sim is designed to 
combine the strategy of tank command 
and simulate the dust, diesel and heat 
associated with this hell on earth. 

Another tank simulation, Armour 
Alley, is predicted, but less is known of 
this game at present. Both titles are 
scheduled for a July release on PC, 
Amiga and ST. 

Also from Three Sixty, announced 
at the recent CES show in Chicago, are 


warfare graphical simulation and 
Patriot, the land-based equivalent of the 
award winning sub-sim, Harpoon. 


BRODERBUND BUDGET: 


Like so many at this quiet time of the 
year the Broderbund range of titles is to 
make its debut on Domark’s Respray 
label priced at a very reasonable £7.99. 

For your eight coins you will be able 
to purchase such old, but golden titles 
as Typhoon Thompson, surely the 
most strange and unusual, but 
nevertheless pleasantly playable game 
ever. Other titles include the very 
respectable blast Wings of Fury and 
that great interpretation of air hockey, 
Shufflepuck Cafe. 


the war-sims, Theatre of War, a modern All’ tizee titles are well worth the 


TURBO. 
CHARGE 


There are race and chase games a plenty, but 
with System 3’s Turbo Charge, you don’t only 
have the pleasure of leaving other vehicles in 
a cloud of dust and exhaust fumes, you can 
actually blast them clean off the road. 

Your motor is a sleek Italian sports car — 
looks remarkably like a Countach but don’t 
tell anyone - which is kitted out from front 
spoiler to aerofoil with all manner of rockets 
launchers and machine-guns. 

The game is going to be released on the 
C64 as well as the Amiga, ST and PC. On the 
ol? C64, System 3 is confidently predicting 
Turbo to be the fastest race game ever. First 
impressions reveal it to be remarkably quick 
with plenty of detailed roadside objects the 
quality of which is more akin to 16-bit — but 
will it reach the break-neck speeds of 
Gremlin’s Lotus Esprit on the 16-bits. Does it 
have too? 

Turbo Charge is more like a eye-leve!l Spy 
Hunter and so more road blasting action than 
racing simulation - watch out for it early 


asking price, so look out for their release 
during July. 


A leading Japanese board—games 
company is planning to release two 
inscrutible oriental strategy games in the 
UK. 

The two games from the firm, Ishi 
Press International, will be Go — eastern 
ludo — and Shogi on the PC costing 
£39.99. Conversions may be written for 
the Amiga and ST — can you bear to 
wait? 

The firm is also hoping to release 
other versions of two more cult games, 
including The Many Faces of Go and 
the apparently well known classic Shogi 
Master.

What a boring week we've had on the 
Full Price Chart. Only one game is 
different to last week and _ that’s 
Ocean’s RoboCop 2. A rather nice 
conversion of an excellent film! 

F15 Strike Eagle 2 stays top of 


the heap for a second week holding | 


off HeroQuest’s valiant charge from 
behind. 

Sonic the Hedgehog has 
dropped one place to number five but 
this is still a very respectable position 
for a Sega game. The other Sega 
biggie, Mickey Mouse, has stayed at 
number 8 and has been in the Chart 
for 18 weeks now. 

A hearty round of applause goes 
out to Anco as Kick Off 2 has 
reached the half century. Yes no less 
than 50 weeks in the Chart. The game | 


certainly deserves this high award 
and hopefully itll last for at least 
another 50! 

And Eye of the Beholder has 
begun to drop from the chart after a 
very respectable time near the top 
end of the listings.

he most explosive blast in the arcade, Beast 

Cs Busters is about to hit ST and Amiga screens with 

concussive impact. This arcade hit has been converted 

and faithfully reconstructed leaving out none of the 

gore and gristle from the arcade original. The 

gruesome graphics are magnificent and the action 
never short of frenetic. 

Now Games-X readers can be terrorized by the 
most fearsome beasts to haunt the screens in this 
great two level demo. Why go out to be terrorised 
when you can do it in the comfort of your own home? 

It's bad news out on the streets! The city has been 
over-run by hideous, crazed beasts! Where did these 
monsters come from? A mad scientist with nothing 
better to do than terrorise the neighbourhood has been 
experimenting with mutations and genetic chemistry 
and come up with the most fearsome creatures ever 
assembled in one arcade game. 

They're in the subways, on the riversides and 
derelict streets. Armed with a Kalashnikov, you've got for that ammo to replenish your armoury and first aid 
no choice but to waste the blighters and pick up all the kits to patch up the claw and bite marks from the 
ammunition and first aid you see in order to re-equip, beasts.

CHAMPIONSHIP ATHLETICS 
Hawk (fall price TBA) 


G enerally, Athletics games amount to furious 
joystick waggling, and it’s that wild, physical 
exertion that has made the genre one of the most 
popular and prolific game themes in the arcade. 

It's been quite some time since the last of many 
athletics-related games was released, but now 
design house, Hawk, is set to open up those blisters 
and do the joystick industry a bit of good, with a 
much improved and updated, yet traditional athletics 
game, Championship Athletics. 

Courtesy of Hawk, ST owners can sample 
some of the atmosphere and action of

a press of the fire button. 


YOUR EVENTS 


The events which feature in this demo require 
speed, power and precision in the pole vault event, 
and the speed and timing of the 110 metre hurdles. 
Before entering the competition set the height you 
wish to start on. Now as your athlete faces the jump, 
begin wiggling the joystick from side to side as fast 
as you can and a yellow power meter will show your 
speed. Meanwhile, on the right, a red bar drops 
down and as he reaches the pole vault scoop at the 
foot of the bar the angle bar must be set at 45 
degrees. 

In this power bursting hurdles sprint, wait for the 
starter’s gun and begin the race with furious joystick 
wiggling now time the jumps with a press of the fire- 
button as he approaches each hurdle. Remember, 
timing is equally important to speed.

these views made for an extremely

enough to turn anyone's blood cold. 

The game can either be played as

& q, IN Ta? s 
This came in just as we finished our last issue, 
which as just as weil as it had us all hooked for a 
couple of days of fiercely competitive play. 

The basic game is a simplistic overhead view 
pool game as has been seen so many times 
before, but it’s done well. When you play your shot 
it’s shown in impressive 3D, which makes sinking 
the balls so much more rewarding. There’s also an 
option to switch which end of the table you view 
the action from and a slow motion action replay. 

Then when you want a rest from Pool, how 
about a game of Billiards? Or Trick Shots - after 
sinking some preset shots you can use the Editor 
option to set your own up, which is surprisingly 
absorbing on a rainy afternoon. The only flaw is 


levels have been 


including the fuzz. There’s 
much more to it than that though — 
including a bonus game, power-ups, a 
strong tactical element in colour-mixing 


That special offer at last! 8-bit owners can — 
exchange your three Games-X coverdisks for 
either Hewson’s Stormlord or Deliverance. 
Both are available on C64, Spectrum 
and Amstrad in disk or cassette

Just fill out a postcard with your

usual Games-X address - mark the 
envelope ‘8-bit Offer’. Easy isn’t it!

sarcastic reviews which praised the

the game itself. I’m not going to argue 
the reviews were unjustified, there’s

Nexus is here as a reminder that 
although computer games, more than 
virtually any other entertainment, 
depend on technical expertise just to 
start, nevertheless good ideas or 
themes that appeal personally can 


that a superb league option, complete with 
computer opponents and allowing up to eight 
human players, sadly lacks a save/load option.

overcome poor programming. If you like 
the sound of a game, reviews can — 
sometimes — miss the point. 


STRIKE FLEET 
EA STAR PERFORMER d£6.99 


Somehow Lucasfilm managed to cram a 
whole US naval battle group into your 


C64, plus 10 missions from the 
Falklands to WW3. 

Considering the depth of play, 
graphics are surprisingly good — using 
fractals, no less — and sound isn’t bad, 
but it’s the gameplay which stretches 
mind and computer wonderfully well. 


THE UNTOUCHABLES 
HIT SQUAD £3.99 


Five games in one really, a huge variety 
of shooting games, all tough so it’s as 
well you stay on the level you've just 


loaded however many times you die. 
Great graphics, good period tunes and 
just-one-more-go gameplay. 


MICROPROSE SOCCER 
MICROPROSE c£14.95 d£19.95 
Football games always sell well, but few 
are any good. This one scores not only 
by being fast, graphically attractive and 
playable, but also by its great sense of 
humour with hilarious tunes. 

There are in fact two games 
included, one using a full pitch, the other 
indoor. Still available from MicroProse,

STUNT CAR RACER 
MICROSTYLE 
This race game is unique on the C64, 
using fast, solid 3D to represent 
ridiculous rollercoaster tracks. However, 
once you've mastered the controls 
there’s five divisions to work cael

A stunning game currently available 
either on cart with the great MicroProse 
Soccer and Rick Dangerous for £24.95 
or UbiSoft’s Ultimate Collection £14.95 
(tape only) with Pro Tennis Tour. 


BOULDERDASH SERIES 
FIRST STAR 


A brilliant series of games culminating in 
a superb construction kit. The basic 
format incorporated a multi-directional 
scrolling screen packed with boulders, 
diamonds and imaginative monsters. 
Plenty of arcade action, a cute main 


character and nice graphics make these”

Not only the fastest race game seen on

The view from just behind your car allows you 
to only see what is occurring up-field. To look 
at the side of the arena you have to physically 
drive there or use the scanner 


One of the most useful views is that from 
overhead because it allows you to know what is 
happening all around your vehicle and makes it 
easier to line up your car with the ball 


There are 10 different vehicles in all, 
starting off at the Shrimp and

arena and behind your car. 
You only have one car 
under your control, the 
Li others being operated by the 

: computer. The game begins 
CMHEH and the huge ball falls down 


This time you look from further 
away. The only bonus of this is 
that you can see slightly more of 
what is going on 


on the pitch in front of you. If you slowly 
accelerate and touch the ball it will stick 
to your bumper, allowing you to dribble 
it up-field. Turn too tightly or ram 
another car and control is automatically 
lost. 

Tiles on the floor include the vector 
block which throws you off in a random 
direction. Special red tiles also appear. 
These, when run over, give attainments 
or repair credits depending on the type. 

The attainments include new tyres 
and fuel — both of these drop as the 
game proceeds — and as well as the 
bonuses you must keep your eye out 
for the slow down tile and the like. 

If a car receives a few hits in 
succession, the engine will stall, making 
you waiting for 10 seconds. 

In addition to the one-player game, 
Wild Wheels has the option for a two- 
player direct link, providing you have 
two machines and the correct cable. 
This allows head-to-head games, thus 
offering more lasting appeal.

Running over the tile will activate it, one of the best

© put it simply Wild Wheels is a 

T concoction of different types of 
game. Begin with a 3D soccer game a la 
International Soccer Challenge, throw in 
the odd car for good measure and add 
mindless violence to add that extra bit of 


Spice. 

First impressions weren't particularly 
good, but | soon found that Wild Wheels 
is quite a good game. 

The first problem I came across was 
the control method. Starting off in the 
professional mode is not a good idea, 
and it’s much better to begin in the 
arcade version. It takes a while to get 
used to the way your car skids around the 
course when your tyres are worn, but this 
only adds to the realism. 

The different views also aid the way 
a certain team likes to play, for | found 
the overhead view much easier than any 
other. 

The two-player link is a worthy 
inclusion, but | think a split-screen multi- 
player option would have been nice. The 
selection of different settings various 
control methods should help the game 
suit most games players, and the fact that 
you can get straight on with the game 
instead of having to run through 
numerous front-end sequences is 
welcomed. 

1 am in two minds to whether I like 
the game or not, as on ene hand the 
game is quite good at the beginning, but 
the appeal soon wears off and the game 
begins to become menotonous. 

The game is graphically quite good, 
but this, along with average sound, 
doesn't save the game. 

On the whole Wild Wheels is best 
described as being nice, but lacks that 
certain something that keeps a player 
hooked.

Creative simply repeated this block, 
changed the colours and replaced it with 
a new head. The result was a new 
character, and. at the same time memory

The other ways to save memory include

' * Try not to be tempted to rush into an 
open space to collect some icon that 
might be there. You might just get a large 
bubble on your head! Only pick them up 
if itis safe to do so. 


* Take your time on each level. If you 
take things slowly and your time runs out 
you don't lose any lives so why rush? 


%* When you start each new level it is 
best to pause the game and have a look 
at the task ahead. This way you (and 
your partner if you are playing with two 
players) can plan your strategy. 


* Try not to break up too many 
balloons at a time, if you concentrate on 
a particular one until it has totally 
disappeared you are less likely to end up 
dead!

One way to get your hands on some brilliant 
Spectrum games is to buy a compilation. There 
have been some superb ones released recently, 
here is a look at the créme de la créme.

| If it’s addictive games you want this compilation 
has the lot. Altered Beast, X-Out, Chase HQ, 
Turican and Rainbow Islands make an 
appearance. The best out of the pack has to be 

Rainbow Islands, number four in the top 10 

| games list. The amount of colour, cuddly 

| characters and highly addictive gameplay make 

| this the sort of game you just can't put down!

This six games pack from the French software house is a 

mixture of good and bad. For your money you get Rick 

Dangerous, Carrier Command, P47 Thunderbolt, Fighter 

Bomber, Pro Tennis Tour and Kick Off. My favourite has to 

be Rick Dangerous, the first game from the man with the hat 

and an excellent platforms and ladders style romp. Again the 
_ apts are brilliant with lots of colour and animation.

More arcade action from Domark with some excellent 
games. All Points Bulletin, Klax, Escape from the Planet of 
the Robot Monsters, Cyberball and Vindicators. APB is the 
highlight of the compilation with the conversion of the arcade 
machine. This cop car chase game was a hit as a coin-op 
and the programmers have managed to keep the good looks 
and atmosphere of the original intact in this version. 


This is the big top ten of Spectrum games that no Speccy 
owner should ever be without — I feel a bit like Bruno Brookes

lam an 14 year-old boy who really likes Mario 
but I have one small problem. I own an ST, 
not an NES. Please can you tell me if there 
are any Mario games available for the ST? 
John Strain, Glasgow. 


Dr X: Unfortunately Nintendo has never released, or has 
any plans to release any of the Mario games on the ST. 
Mario is devoted to the NES and Famicom systems, so 
ithe only way to play the Super Bros games is to 
purchase one of Nintendo’s consoles. Sorry. 


PGA MC 
Firstly | would like to compliment you on an 
excellent magazine. However, while reading 
your column, the first thing I noticed was that 
it lacked that bit of class, so | thought I’d 
write in. 

What a great sense of dress you have (I 
know - X), and I especially like those dicky- 
bows. I’m also glad you have a sense of 
humour. Anyway, I just recently bought Kick 
Off 2 and managed to get 7 players sent off. 
There’s nothing like a bit of fistycuffs, eh? 

Here’s a question to tease those two 
brain cells of yours (that makes two more 
than you, brain dead - X). Is EA going to 
release any new golf courses for PGA Tour 
Golf? If so, what are they? 

Dermo, Ireland. 


Dr X: | agree, there’s nothing like a good fight and if you 
don’t stop mouthing off I'll give you something to chew 
on. You like to ramble on in your letter, don’t you? In 


_ FGA TOUR 


answer to your question, as far as | know — sorry, there 
are no plans as of yet. However, EA might change its 
mind, you never know. 


and am stuck in Gods. I 
can get to the end of level but do not know 


how to get into world three. Oh, by the way, I 
haven’t got a clue how to get into the shop. 
J Leslie, Fife. 


Dr X: Before you can leave the second level, you must 
defeat the end beastie, a huge flapping dragon. The 
best tactic is to either stay close or keep your distance. 
Duck to avoid the flames if you stay close, and jump out 
of the way if you are attacking from a distance. 

When you finally manage to defeat the nastie the 
shopkeeper should walk up to you, allowing you to buy 
new weapons and power-ups. However, having 
progressed as far as you have you should have met the 
shopkeeper by now.

the Last Crusade. I cannot reach the casket 
underground, and I have not yet found a way 
to pass the grating that stops me. Please 
help me as it’s driving me insane. 

I Jones, Liverpool. 


Dr.X: Yeah, | think this game is affecting your mind as | 
don’t quite believe you real name is | Jones. Mind you, if 
it is, what does the ‘I’ stand for — Idiot? Anyway, back to 
the solution. 

You do not actually pass through the grating yet. 
Instead you have to enter the library and dig through the 
floor — refer to the Grail Diary for the corresponding tile. 
You must then negotiate the catacombs — easier said 
than done — before arriving on the other side of the 
grate. You can now open the casket to examine the 
Crusader Shield.

Could you help me with a solution on how to

Future Wars. | would also like it if you could 
send me a full solution to the game. 

Elijah Crawley, Guildford. 


Dr X: | think the extraterrestrial you are talking about is 
the beastie found in the sewers. Upon inspection the 
green monster is attacking a woman and child, so being 
the hero that you are you must help them out. 

You should have a blowtouch about your person, 
and this must be filled earlier in the game. Fill it from a 
tap found in the sewers, and then use it against the ET.

HQ of Digital Magic 
Software, where 
something wondrous 
is happening. 
Games-X sped down 


the M56 to 


inuestigate 


igital Magic Software is one of the most exciting 
D things to emerge out of Widnes, near Liverpool. 

Formed a few years ago by two former 
programmers of the now defunct CRL, Digital Magic has 
tasted success with a few well received games. 

The company is probably best known for Drivin’ 
Force, a Power Drift style racing game which was the 
subject of an appearance on the Saturday morning 
children’s show, Motormouth. More recently, Digital 
Magic has wooed the gaming world with its conversion 
of the classic board-game, Colditz. 

Digital Magic is a rare and unique breed amongst 
software houses. It isn’t affiliated to to a larger company. 
In fact, it's one of the smallest independent software 
producers around. 

The current line-up includes: Jules Burt — managing 
director and programmer; Jon Law — director and 
graphic artist; Mike Halsall — 16-bit programmer; Steve 
Pattullo - C64 programmer; and Miles Barry — C64 
programmer. 

1991 is almost certain to bring further success with 
Digital Magic attempting to bring back quality gameplay. 
Two of its forthcoming blockbusters are Bod the Alien 
and Little Beau.

GAMES: 11TH-17TH JULY 1991 


(Clockwise) Digital Magic are Jon Law, Steve Pattullo, 
Mike Halsall, Jules Burt and Miles Barry 


Amiga owners who bought a copy of last week's 
Games-X will have already sampled the delights of Little 
Beau. Meanwhile, Bod the Alien is still in development 
and features platform-style gameplay in the guise of 
haunted houses, Egyptian pyramids and so on. 

The guys at Digital Magic talked to Games-X to 
reveal the secret of their success. 


One of the main reasons we set up Digital Magic was in 
order to produce quality products, a point we pride 
ourselves on. We obviously don’t have the same 


overheads as larger publishers and therefore don’t have 
to sell as many games. 

We are also slowly competing with the biggies by 
producing more games on more formats. Ultimately the 
satisfaction of being involved with projects at all levels is 


most gratifying. 


Drivin’ Force was influenced by the original arcade 
version of Powerdrift. We actually approached Activision 
with a demo of the game in an attempt to win the chance 


Bod has to 


Séarch 
Several different 


Cations in o 
der t 
Tecover hic ‘ae = 60 


of converting the game for the home computer. 

Activision didn’t offer us enough and so someone 
else was hired to carry out the project. We then decided 
to steer (bad pun!) away from the Powerdrift idea. 

We still used the graphics techniques of the arcade 
machine but expanded on the ideas. The end result was 
Drivin’ Force, something we felt was a good, competitive 
game. 


Magic man and managing director Jules Burt is looking 
to the future and, in particular, consoles 


A Motormouth researcher came to a press launch of 
ours in August 1989. He returned in November after 
having been to see the likes of Domark, US Gold and 
Activision. 

Apparently their response was pretty poor and so 
he'd decided upon another angle and saw us as having 
a game good enough to compete against all the others. 


It certainly got us noticed within the industry and it 
helped promote Drivin’ Force. One strange thing was 
that very few people mentioned that they heard about 
the game from the TV. 

Still, the whole experience was good fun and made 
an interesting talking point. 


Fly Fighter was 


The game was _ initially 
based on the film and we’d 

all played the board-game. 
We did approach the video 
company responsible for the movie, but its response 
was very low. However, when we contacted Gibson 
Games, the board-game manufacturer it was really 
interested and it took off from there. 


We don't plan to obtain licences. Instead we develop a 
game and then see whether a licensing deal can be tied 
up later. 


Little Beau is a platform game with the emphasis on 
gameplay. We were approached with a rough demo and 
expanded the idea from there. 

The game features all the best ideas from other 
cute platform titles in an attempt to create a really 
enjoyable game. 


Jon had finished the graphics for Little Beau and was 
working on a few ideas for a new project. Bod is the 
result of his imagination. The style of gameplay was 
then decided and then we all began to think up different 
scenarios and puzzles. 


" 


It's all set in the future. Bod’s sitting at home with The 
Misses out the back cooking up his tea. The kids, 
meanwhile, are running riot; knocking his brew over, 
jumping on the TV and ripping his paper to bits. 

As time goes on the kids start jumping around in 
Bod’s time machine when all of a sudden they’re gone! 
Before Bod can have his supper he must nip next door, 
borrow their time. machine and go after the kids. Each 
one of his sprogs has been transported to a different

level and you must find every one before you complete 
the game. 


We're currently working on the graphics. Jon makes the 
map up using DPaint and our custom map editor and 
Mike makes sure everything is playable. The main 
problem we're facing at the moment is coming up with 
enough original puzzles to make each individual level 
enjoyable. 

We're trying to add more problems to the building 
site level but apart from the usual clichéd jokes we 
haven't come up with much yet. 


We're hopefully going to release it in time for Christmas; 
late October, early November. 


I ie? 
We're definitely not looking at CDTV at the moment. 
Consoles are the thing to get into. Shockwave should be 
appearing on the Mega Drive pretty soon. 

Equipment is being introduced into our office for 
Mega Drive games. We also want to get into Sega and 
Nintendo 8-bit games and hand helds.

to enter. At the beginning of each level you 


see the world that you will be going in to 
from the outside. This is where the Mode 7 
effects come straight into view as you 
twist and zoom into the world. 

Once into the level you move your 
character over the world. The worlds have 
a different set of scenery to them. 
However, they all appear to stick to a 
basic pattern of exploration. You either 
walk through simple mazes or manoeuvre 
around restricted platforms in the sky. 

At a certain point you will probably find 
a movable platform to jump on which will 
take you to the next piece of the level. You 
jump off and you’re on your way. 

Super Deformer is very pretty with 
plenty of effects. However, the levels are 
repetitive so the gameplay becomes 
boring. In addition, the power-ups do not 
last long enough to warrant any 
excitement. Disappointing.

 ceutous is proving to be one popular 


game. Initially developed for home 
computers, this game then migrated to the 
Sega Mega Drive. Now the programmers at 
Infinity and Imagineer have ported this deity 
simulation to the Super Famicom with 
excellent results. 

You have a group of followers from 
whom you derive power. The more followers 
you have the greater their achievements, 
the more power you wield. You must rid the 
world of the opposition.To do this you must 


monsters the villagers can’t handle on their 
own, two settlers will be sent to cultivate 
and advance civilization in that area. 

You can use magic to control the 
elements to help your people survive and 
advance civilization, in a similar way to 
Populous. Various icons are available to 
access commands and magic. 

Actraiser is an incredible piece of 
action/role-playing software. Gamepiay is 
compelling as the action sequence is not 
only good looking, but tough! 

The graphics are stunning and the 
sound is equally impressive with digitally 
sampled violins, horns and percussion. 
Even though it pinches a few ideas from 
Populous the mixing of strategy and action 
is intriguing and successful. Don’t miss it.

season mode. The game moves slowly enough for you 
‘0 get in some low pressure practice. 


Want to see some fancy shooting? Pass the ball to 


someone who’s close to the basket and hit A rapidly. 
t's slam-dunk time! 

Yes, you can just stand in one spot and bounce 
the ball to kill time or hope that one of your men will 
move to a better position, but it’s a sure way to 

uarantee that the ball will get stolen. 

On defence, if you've lost sight of your man, 


| chances are good that you ran him off the edge of the 


‘ourt. Avoid the temptation to hit B rapidly when on 


lefence, changing quickly from man to man. Since ~ 


ach player has an assigned man to guard, you'll be

and your devout followers to crush the 
misguided. 

There are absolutely piles of levels to 
Populous - some 500, actually - making it 
excellent value for money and very 


.addictive too. As you progress on to each 


level it becomes progressively harder. 

The interface has been faithfully copied 
from the computer version and, once you 
become used to the joypad controls, is no 
problem to use. The graphics are absolutely 
top-notch with all of the delicate shades and 
hues that the players of the computer 
version are so familiar with. The sound is 


_ Superb matching anything the Amiga can 


offer. 
If you like playing god on a screen then 
you'll love the strategy of Populous. 


better to let the team get into position and slowly cycle 
through the B choices. 

Be careful of pressing A to block a shot. If you've’ 
somehow already taken control of the ball by stealing it © 
or snagging a rebound (it often happens so quickly that 
you may not notice it), you'll end up taking the cross | 
court shot from wherever you're standing. | 

Watch out when attempting to steal (C button) 
That's where most fouls occur. 


FOOTB: 
f you decide to run after calling a pass bay: do no 
‘ouch the buttons of the controller while you are behind 


the line of scrimmage. Any button press signals a pass, 
even though you may be pressing B, for instance, to try 

‘0 make the quarterback spin to avoid a tackle. 

Do the unexpected. Call a “Deep Out” and then 

un it, or send everyone to the right and then run left. 
You'll usually take the other team by surprise since it 
expects you to play rationally.

| Use the club distance chart on page 29 of the manual 
as a guide to a perfectly hit shot, not a typical one. 
Computer generated players hit perfect shots; you 
usually won't. You're better off choosing a club that’s 
one longer than the one recommended for a specific 
idistance to give yourself room for error. Otherwise 
you'll often leave yourself short. 
1 Try different clubs from unusual spots such as! 
“mid-range irons or putters to roll the ball up when 
you're just off the green.

Realistic off-road racing action, complete 


with skids, rollovers and jumps 


belfs and prepare yourselves 
_ for Read Riot 4WD - the ride of 
a lifetime from Atari Games 


T here’s a brand new driving game just been 
released last week from American video giant, 
Atari Games. Before you say “not another 
driving game” perhaps it should be mentioned that this 
one comes complete with a unique motor driven 


steering control so that when the player drives off the 
racecourse he gets a realistic off road feel. And this is 


not all. 
The game is called Road Riot 4WD and features 
all the latest 


_ It's time to fasten your safety 
: 
| 


42 GAMES-X 11TH-17TH JULY 1991 


innovations for driving game videos. The first thing you 
will notice when you see the game is that it is in a 
cabinet with roll bars — not that you will need them in 
your local arcade! 

Once you've climbed into your seat and started the 
game you will be offered a choice of 11 different tracks. 
These tracks” are located around the world from 
Antarctica to Australia and Mexico — each challenging 
the player with its own unique terrain and obstacles. 
Whether you choose to slide across the ice or drift 


through the sand you are guaranteed a great driving 


experience. se 


Two players can play on their own or against each 


other for head to head competitions. The driving even 


gets dirty as stun gun trigger buttons on each player's PS 
controls activate a solenoid in the seat of the other 


player, which hits him and gives himagood kick. 


{f= ———— —=

ESSA 
Shoot other cars te slow them down. When 

you get hit, you'll feel a “rump thump” 

There are several incentives for two person 
simultaneous games as players can compete for the 
season championship. The player can continue his 

game as long as he defeats the hosting 
opponent's team in yellow cars. If two players 
are playing a linked game there is one less 

computer controlled car to beat and two 
players can co-operate to beat the 
opponent cars. 

Controls apart from the steering are 
pretty standard including an accelerator and 
trigger buttons. 

The game is good fun as the player is 
challenged by the lifelike skidding and 
bouncing action of his four wheel drive 
vehicle on the track. His car can also crash 
in several different ways depending upon 
how an object is hit. So you have to watch 
out for your car rolling on its side, flying end 

over end or even exploding on impact! 
On screen video graphics are of a good quality

HOLOGRAM TIME TRAVELLER 


Now a sneaky peek of a game which is so 
new it’s not been released in the UK yet. 
Hologram Time Traveller and has been 
produced by Sega. It’s due for release 
during July, and is going to turn the arcade | 
video market upside down. 

That’s quite an ambitious claim but the 


| reason is that Hologram Time Traveller is a 


video game experience based on, 
you’ve already guessed, holograms. 
You will have already seen these 
things on badges and so on and now the 
effect has been used in an arcade game. 


yes 


: Through the use of a clever optical | 
_| system and laser disk generated images, _ 
| Sega has produced a game with 3D 
_| realism. Images appear suspended in free 


space and the first game of this kind will 


| feature actors created from a Hollywood 


style film production. 
The player will have direct control of — 
his actor and will have the illusion of 
dictating the script and storyline created. | 
The game has already been dubbed in the 
States as “the most radical departure in 
coin-op technology for 15 years” so watch 
this space for a review of the game soon. 


depicting digitized pictures of real life objects. The Road 
Riot 4WD racing vehicles, people and obstacles on and 
around the track are realistically shown and this makes 
the game that bit more exciting. 


Road Riot will only be in some of the larger arcades 


by now but it should not be too long before it is out on 
more widespread sites. Keep an eye out for it and give it 
a go if you get the opportunity.

(om Se many pics, but so many ugly mugs - how 


about some shets of young ladies gracing our 
pages. Come on girls let's see what you leek like, or is the 
acne really that bad? Keep ‘em coming! Write te: X-IT, 
Games-X, Europa Heuse, Adilingten Park, Macclesfield, 


Cheshire SK10 4N—, 


| just had to write to report to you the 
latest in computer technology. Yes folks, 
at last it's here! Forget the 83D 
Construction Kit, forget virtual reality 
because |’m now introducing the brand 
new -~ not released in the shops yet, or 


made in Japan — “SD Reality Kit’. 


To get started all you have to do is 
wake up — incredibie! The graphics are 
so smooth it gives you a feeling of really 
being there. You can interact with 57 
million other people and another 80 
billion if you get the add-on kit. Amazing! 

Finally, | would just like to check 
with you that the Super Famicom really is 
super? Also is the Mega Drive really 
mega? | want to know because I’m going 
to buy one of them as they're both able 
to play games — incredible! 

Someone commented the other 
week that Famicom reviews are drying 
up — personally | think it’s all this dry 
weather we’re having! 

A “Partly toasted cheese” 
Sandwich, Kent. 


I have a wondertul idea to dispel this 
illusion of reality you keep having, go 
back to sleep! 

Or alternatively buy a Super 
Famicom and a Mega Drive — you'll 
never have to step outside your house 
again, you can even get Games-X and 


Dear Newsagent, - 


cat 


all your software delivered to your door! 

Just think, a permanent haze of 
fantasy in which to live out your 
existence. Certainly beats getting up in 
the morning, doesn't it Mr Goliner?! 


Hi! I'm Mark “Snivvier’ 
Penn. (Well, aren't you the 
lucky one! — Unc.) | wrote 
to you in issue nine and 
forgot to write my address. 
Please, please forgive my stupidity 
and send me a T-shirt. My friends don’t 
believe | wrote that letter and a T-shirt 
would show them up. 
Mark “Please send me a T-shirt” 
Penn, London. 


Who takes your photos, Mark? Certainly 
isn't David Bailey! I've taken better on 
my Box Brownie. 

You're going to have to do better 
than this to get yourself one of those 
Xclusive T-shirts, but as I’m in a good 
mood I'll print your photo — small! 


| noticed you had Todd and Melissa from 
Neighbours on the cover of issue nine. 
What a scoop, and you didn’t even 
mention it! 

Could we have Tracey Barlow on a 


I LOVE CRAWLERS 


future cover, please? 
Don “Mad” McKie, Hull. 


That was the kind of scoop you don’t 
broadcast too widely! I’m surprised at 
you Don, didn’t think you were a 
Neighbours man — one learns something 
appallingly new about one’s fellow 
human beings every day. 

We had Tracey on the cover on 
issue six! Now Coronation Street is 
altogether a better kettle of fish. 

Send me a photo, Don and I'll have 
it turned into an A3 centrespread. 


| think that eames X is 
brilliant, wonderful... (ey- 
up, this lad’s after a T-shirt 
~ Unc). | have two points 
which | hope will be of 
interest to you. 

It says on the front of the mag, 
among the other computer and console 
names, Spectrum. (Call that a 
computer? ~ Dr X.) Now although | do 
not own one | have seen hardly any 
Speccy gossip except the charts. How 
about the odd Speccy review? 

Why so many reviews on the 
Amiga? 

Please let's have some more 
posters on game artwork, not the teams 
who produce games. 

Which games would you 
recommend for the Game Boy? 

Keep Go-Global, its really good! 
(There's no accounting for taste — Dr X.) 

What happened to lan and Shaun, 
the reviewers you used to have? 

Harry “How’s your father” 
Sargant, Marlborough. 


lve been to Marlborough, even thought 
about buying a house there, so tell me 
how come you can afford to live in a 
place like that? 

! reckon some of you lot read the 


mag with your eyes closed — we have 
had some Speccy reviews, not odd ones 
either. 

Strange as it may seem, the Amiga 
is one of the most popular games 
machines around at the mo. 
Consequently, more games are released 
for this format than anything else. What 
do you want us to do, ignore nearly half 
our potential readership?! 

Call me old fashioned, but | don’t 
think you can beat Tetris on the Game 
Boy, although a new one out towards the 
autumn called Faceball 2000 looks pretty 
damn good. 

Go-Global is undergoing a radical 
revamp, don’t worry it'll be back. 

Shaun and lan thought that games 
should be played 24 hours a day. Smart 
lads, but what they also seemed to forget 
is that they were supposed to write a few 
words about them as well. What can | 
say — | think the name of this column 
might give you some idea! 


Why do you keep 
reviewing Amiga, ST, and 
Spectrum games when it 
is painfully obvious that 
most of your readers own 
consoles ~ well | do anyway. There are 
ioo many magazines already covering 
proper computers, but hardly any for 
consoles and none at ail for hand helds. 

What are you guys trying to prove 
by keeping this Go-Global turkey going 
anyway? Once it was quite amusing, but 
have you ever heard of “flogging dead 
horses”? (Cali the RSPCDH! — Unc.)

Och aye the noo, how are yoo?! Our 
purpose in life is to cater for all game 
formats, and if you look at the last three 
issues of Games-X | think you'll find quite 
a lot of console reviews. 


As for the Go-Global bit, I’ve given 
the Scottish chapter of the Save a Dead 
Horse Campaign your address and I'm 
sure they'll be only too interested in your 
suggestions. Leslie Bunder was also 


interested in getting hold of your 
whereabouts — muttered something 
about the Sunday Sport!

That gold tooth in our Doc’s gob is pure

swaps it around. 

Yes, | do like the car. Not as good

you're Italian you think you have a

everything and am still doing it! 

! bet if Caroline had realised that 
she was destined for mega stardom, she 
would never have let us take her piccy 
for Street Talk — or maybe she’s sitting 
quietly at home revelling in all this 
unrequited attention.
